Accessible from the north and south via scenic Hwy. 10, or from the east via Hwy. 19, Riding Mountain National Park lies on the plateau of the Manitoba escarpment, 197 kilometres (123 mi.) north of the U.S. border and 259 kilometres (162 mi.) northwest of Winnipeg. The park also encompasses the historic resort town of Wasagaming on Clear Lake, which offers the amenities of a resort destination. The park's 2,978-square-kilometre (1,150-sq.-mi.) area is blanketed with forests, lakes and meadows. Officially dedicated in 1933, it is home to elk, moose, deer, bears and a wide variety of birds and vegetation. Waterfowl and beavers populate the waterways, and a herd of bison grazes in a large enclosure near Lake Audy. Driving hwys. 10 and 19 as well as Lake Audy Road offer scenic views and opportunities to spot wildlife. Self-guiding bison tour brochures are available at various park facilities. Learn More...
